Surprising victory of Jef van den Kroon


  Jef van den Kroon was the fastest rider in the peloton when Torres Vedras - Nazaré (Stage 1 of La Génération Future (U23)) was coming to an end. Jef van den Kroon speeded up and managed to get several meters ahead of the competitors in the ordinary sprint. Behind him was Vaneli Estrela, Nikoline, struggling with João Vecchi from Time Indaiatuba. João Vecchi saw his competitor get across the finishing line only a few miliseconds before himself, while both of them could only watch while Jef van den Kroon raised his hands for the victory.
As we got close to the finishing line, I suddeny realized I had my chance today said a surprised winner. When the other sprinters launched the sprint, I just followed along, and I even managed pass them in the end.
The manager of Team WonderDee was proud of his rider today. Jef van den Kroon has been training and preparing himself for this race. It's an important victory - both for Jef van den Kroon but also for the team.
